札幌拉麵共和國 / Sapporo Ramen Kyowakoku

Sapporo Ramen Kyowakoku has eight popular ramen noodle specialty shops representing different areas of Hokkaido (as of April 2015, there is one shop from Asahikawa, Mori, Otaru, Hakodate; and four shops from Sapporo). The shops sometimes change without notice, and 43 shops have been there since the opening of the venue in October 2004. This place is like a theme-park of ramen noodles and this facility is designed like a town – despite being on the 10th floor of Esta building. Kyowakoku translates to ‘republic’ in English. The ramen is of course not free, but admission is free to explore this themed facility. Opening hours are 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., 365 days a year.
